The Rescue Skill Has to Go

[RubixCube]

I’ve used it to save people quite a few times, often when they’re tunnelling and haven’t noticed the incoming attack or where they’re so wildly out of position they cannot dodge the bad in time.

It is possible to mess up. I tried to rescue a cohealer in rab who was in wrong alliance section and had a group up marker on them. Unfortunately, as I used it, people from the other alliance were grouping up to help her, while my rescue didn’t get her to us in time. She called me an idiot. I agreed as I sheepishly rezzed her.

But just because an ability sometimes goes wrong or a person makes bad judgement, doesn’t mean it should be deleted entirely. Rescue has its place and when it is used well, it can be very effective.

So no thanks, we’ve lost enough stuff.

With the Trollspree of the OP withstanding

I do hate Rescue with a Passion. My Static troll me mad hard with it whenever we're doing Maps, Duns, and occasionally Savage content when they know for sure that we will still knock it out even with the Dps Loss. Tug the Leader is a sick game.

20+ year old man screaming like a little girl when the healer aligns themselves behind you in the final boss of Amaurot during the boss firing Mah Lazer and just suddenly snatches your butt off the platforms.

Amazing skill in the hands of people wanting to save you
Horrible skill in the hands of butt-hats like my team lol.

Tis the nature of most things I suppose.

And if an SCH wanted to preshield, or an AST wanted to make sure their buff applied to everyone?

There is no legitimate reason to not stand behind the boss with everyone else. Doing so is incredibly rude and inconsiderate.

Why would I not be behind the boss during dps phase or any for that matter o.o ? Unless you're talking about ranged dps who feel like they have to pew pew from the other side of the planet, which then I agree with you but imo, if anyone's that far, leave them be. They're the ones missing out. It shouldn't be any healer's problem if no one's within reasonable space.

That's exactly what I'm referring to; I can't think of any other situation where a healer would use Rescue on someone for being out of range.

I mean... it wouldn't need to be a thing if DPS learned to not stand in the bad.

[Arrius]

Speaking of which.

I have been saved from a poorly timed raise so many times with Rescue.
I see it used to allow more DPS uptime. Or quicker LB damage.
It’s a fantastic tool when used right.

[WrenElessedil]

I got saved several times by rescue during a Copied Factory run where I was playing like total garbage, so I'm very thankful to whoever the healer was in that run.

[Fynlar]

A player should only be able to control his/her own movements, and not have the ability to control those of another player.

Agreed, especially in the very DDR twitchy style of gameplay this game encourages, which is why I've always thought this skill doesn't belong.

Should we also remove Shirk

Tbh Shirk doesn't have much practical reason to exist anymore either.

But on the other hand, how will these people learn if a healer is holding their hands through it? Sometimes a mistake needs to be made in order for a concept to be reinforced, and then the chance of it happening again is greatly minimized.

The few times I've had rescue used on me to yank me out of AoE, I noticeddthat I had been yanked halfway across the room, and started looking out for things.

Getting yanked for the lols is fine too, lighten up
